Expect to sleep again in about 6 months.

Im clueless on the cornstarch bit. When you get back, be sure to tell us what it was for if its not too graphic

I'll have to pack some. We both decided we weren't going to bring it because it sounded so stupid. Even her doctor didn't know why they would suggest it.

Maybe they just put it on the list as a test to see how well you follow directions.

and that folks, is why the man should always look at his wifes FACE and no where else during labor.

I've seen a live birth before. I know what to expect.

My wife has stated very inequivicollay that she wants me to stand no lower than her shoulders.

Noone else is to enter the room, especially my mother.

I bet women fart a lot when they give birth. That true? Maybe even **** a little?

I've got 4 kids. I'm practically a vet now.

The cornstarch is for Mom while in labor as a comfort device (for massage). You get sweaty and hot while in labor and putting massage lotion on isn't as refreshing as something that dries a bit. You can bring baby powder if you'd prefer, but cornstarch is less smelly and your sense of smell is hightened during labor. That said, make sure you bring some breathmints so that you don't make her throw up.

yup it can happen. THink of it this way. YOu have a 6-10lb obstruction in your body, jamming together your stomach, intestines, and everything else. And its trying to get out. It will push everything out of the way to do so. If you have gas or other stuff in your body at the same time, theres a good chance it will be pushed out when the baby is fighiting its way out. The baby essentially flattens out your lower organs as its pushed through the birth canal. My advice? Try and **** when your early into your contractions

She won't I'm sure. Depending on the Hospital/Dr/Mother's preference, they set the baby on mom while finishing up with her before cleaning the baby. You'll be too interested in meeting the new person than what they're doing.

Also, if you haven't already picked up hand sanitizer, do it. They'll have some in the hospital already, but make sure visitors that want to hold your new little one actually use it before picking him/her up (do you know what you're having?). Some travel size hand-sanitizer bottles are great for keeping in the diaper bag/purse/car/etc...and I keep a larger dispenser at the changing table and in the bathroom. Hospitals are germy places, make sure everyone at least washes their hands thoroughly before touching your baby.
